Wider Shoulders

FrnkLft

Any suggestions for exercises to gain wider shoulders? The only thing I have really come across are variations on the Lateral Dumbell Raise.

I like the exercise and I'll do it till I die but I'm stuck now between 30 lbs (a bit too heavy for complete/proper full rep) and 25 lbs (a bit too light to max out). I would like to add a different approach/movement if possible, maybe something where I can more efficiently challenge that shoulder head.

I thought they basically worked the anterior deltoid, not the side?

And I just have to say, these are my two favorite exercises, hands down.

Don't forget about horizontal pulling exercises to work the posterior deltoid; the posteriod deltoid adds to shoulder width as well. Vertical pulls (pullups/deadlifts) don't give it near enough attention.

Dumbbell and barbell shoulder press do primarily work the anterior delts but the lateral head will get worked as well. Try cable lateral raises, leaning lateral raises and incline lateral raises.
